Diamond from Houseki no Kuni?
 
Slow going, but I've been getting the base colors and color scheme plotted out. NGL I'm thinking of mixing the hills' and Leader's suit colors for the sky as the night sky does need to offset and contrast the rest of the colors, but I'm worried it might fuck the picture up.IMG_20210714_160654_01~2.jpg Thoughts? Besides doing a flip because I'm surprisingly bad at this, I mean. ;)

The main problem is that the guy blends into the BG at the moment because the green and the blue are too close to each other in terms of colour. If you want to keep the colours the same, I'd bump up the saturation of the guy's suit to make him pop out of the picture more.

Stuff does look a little pale now that you mention it, even for just the base. I can go back in and make the trees more green as well, if that would help define the colors and individual shapes. Maybe add a bit of gouache?

Eta- darker, indigo hue added to suit and it looks much better with just that tweak alone. Thank you for the suggestion, it already looks heaps better!

This one only took about six hours, I had a lot of hang ups with the arms and hands but eventually got it done to a degree I'm satisfied with. I did have references, just couldn't find any in the pose I wanted.

Here's a close up of her face~

Savage it is.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that the second picture is done with watercolor, not magic marker. You need straighter lines; here is a tutorial on how to get them. Second is perspective and proportion. The chair looks tiny in proportion to the table and patio, and none of the (vertical) lines in the picture converge on a vanishing point. Finally, unless you're painting a comic book or stylized illustration, the outlines need to be hidden. I suggest using a 2H pencil to get lighter lines that are easier to cover up with watercolor.

I did use marker, but professional ones, not magic marker. Thank you very much, I will absolutely do my best at practicing my lines!
 
I haven't been able to locate a better thread to plop this, but here. If you have a better thread to put this in, please do tell me!

I redesigned Mary Lee Walsh's character in the Sonichu Universe (Or C-197 depending on if you count the Merge as canon or not) in an attempt to distance her character from her actual IRL self. I've always thought of Walsh's character as having blonde hair, and I decided to improve upon her purple outfit, turning it from a Crayola Purple to an onion purple. Personally, I think the onion purple fits her better with the palette I gave her.
